Twilight für Ü30-Frauen

I work in a cinema and i’ve quickly learned that between 40-50% of the Twilight audience is women between 30-50, which is both interesting and hilarious[…] I do find it hilarious in the scene where Jason takes his shirt off. I was standing in the kiosk on the opening night and all I could hear was this wave of screams and giggles coming from the screening (at first I thought something was up, until someone told me it was just Jason getting shirtless again).

The films are brilliantly marketed towards a certain type of woman, and I think for the older ones it reminds me of their first loves or times yonder, and of course for the younger girls it’s just a mixture of handsome vampire/wolves and pretty girls. Also, I had a few guys ask me when I was ushering if I could pretend their ticket was invalid so they wouldn’t have to watch it with their girlfriend. Every guy I saw going into the Twilight screening had that familiar look of death in his eyes, where for a rare moment in their movie/tv lives, they were about to watch a film which had no interest whatsoever in gaining a male audience. The only thing a guy will get out of seeing Twilight is a sense of self-loathing and one or two confused boners.
